St. Petersburg Fire Rescue Chief James Large has been placed on administrative leave, effective immediately, Mayor Ken Welch's office confirmed Monday. This was done "after numerous conversations and feedback received from multiple individuals, along with the allegations made and information received in the Employee Climate Survey, as well as other information received," a statement from Welch's office said. The survey of about 1600 city employees allowed for anonymous comments to be submitted, among them an allegation that Large made frequent sexist and racist remarks while at the station, according to the documents obtained by 10 Tampa Bay.
